Straight man of steel

Chapter 33: Hundred Practice Swords (Please recommend tickets)
Three days passed leisurely, and making swords was obviously more troublesome than Zhang Yuan imagined, or what Xiong Daxiong Er wanted to make was a real sword.

Although nearly half of the materials of these two weapons are carbon steel, Xiong Da Xiong II is still tempered according to the forging technique of Baisteel.

Zhang Yuan is not a person who pursues perfection, but when he met such two persistent guys, he had no choice but to stop the progress of the two. Zhang Yuan transferred his energy to Uncle Zhao.

Although Uncle Zhao is an old carpenter, with Zhang Yuan's help, his progress can be improved a lot.

Zhang Yuan was sawing a piece of wood when suddenly there was a staring sound in his mind.

After he closed his eyes to check, he found that the progress bar of the task jumped forward again.

"How Steel Is Made: Reinforcement and Iron Bones: Ten Utensils Forged from Carbon Steel Smelted by the Steel Filling Method (Two Tenths)
Mission Completion Reward: Topographic Map of Coal Mine Distribution in Shu County. "

At this moment, time seemed to be paused. Zhang Yuan kept this posture for more than ten breaths without moving.

The system once again refreshed its own cognition.

I can do tasks by sawing any piece of wood, so is it possible that this chainsaw becomes a hacksaw as it saws?
"Sir, my sword has been forged."

Xiong Da brandished a nearly one-meter-long steel knife and ran out of the house.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Yuan opened his eyes, as if he knew what had happened.

It's just that now he is not sure whether the tools forged by these artisans under his command can help him complete the task or as long as it is carbon steel smelted by the steel pouring method.

"Young master, what do you think of this knife?"

Xiong Da had already run up to Zhang Yuan and handed the steel knife to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan took it with both hands and touched the steel knife. The whole body of the knife was hammered into fine steel by Xiong Da. There was a cold light flowing on the blade, but the handle was not finished yet. Xiong Da didn't know where to find it. The sackcloth wrapped the handle of the knife tightly.

Zhang Yuan chopped down on the piece of wood he had sawed before, without much effort, the wood split into two.

Zhang Yuan was thinking of praising Xiong Da a few words, saying something like the sharpness of the knife, but Xiong Da suddenly felt dissatisfied.

"My lord, this is not the way to test a knife. You give me the knife, and I will try it for you."

It's just trying a knife, is it necessary to be so serious?Although thinking so in his heart, Zhang Yuan still returned the steel knife to Xiong Da's hand.

Xiong Da picked up the knife and slashed at the iron saw that Zhang Yuan was using just now. The iron saw was originally a thin piece of iron, which could withstand such a fierce attack. cut.

Xiong Da seemed very dissatisfied, the iron saw did not show the power of the steel knife, he took the knife and walked into the courtyard, Zhang Yuan didn't know what this idiot was going to do, and immediately followed.

As a result, after Xiong Da entered the yard, he found a piece of wrought iron and chopped it down with a knife. The entire blade was buried in the wrought iron for a full inch. He probably thought the effect was okay, so Xiong Da grinned at Zhang Yuan.

"Hey, young master, look, this knife is okay."

Zhang Yuan absolutely did not expect that Xiong Da's method of testing the knife would be so overbearing, so he nodded subconsciously.

But Zhang Yuan was worried in his heart whether the blade of the steel knife would be damaged, which would be sold for money.

After getting Zhang Yuan's approval, Xiong Da pulled out the steel knife and handed it to Zhang Yuan again.Seeing that the blade was not damaged, Zhang Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, if this knife is sold, how much can it sell for?"

Zhang Yuan didn't know the price of weapons today. He had heard from Uncle Zhao that a weapon made of fine steel could sell for hundreds of gold.But Zhang Yuan felt that the steel knives sold in the market were definitely not as good as the one that Xiong Da spent so much time making.

"My lord, an ordinary steel knife can only cut marks on the blade of an iron knife, but it is guaranteed not to leave any marks on itself.

If I try my best to build this steel knife, it should be able to cut off those iron swords and iron knives sold on the market.

Generals fighting on the battlefield or rangers wandering around the world must have no resistance to such a treasured sword, and it is not a problem to sell it for thousands of gold. "

Xiong Da showed a strong confidence in the steel knife he created.

However, it is impossible for Zhang Yuan to listen to him and go to the street to sell it so stupidly. If no one buys it, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing.

Whenever encountering such a problem, Zhang Yuan would eventually go to Zhuo's house.

Although the Han Dynasty explicitly prohibited merchants from using weapons, it did not prohibit merchants from selling weapons.Moreover, in addition to merchants, doctors, and craftsmen, even slaves can handle weapons.

This is the most tolerant policy in all dynasties. Zhang Yuan is not worried that he will cause any trouble because of selling this steel knife. His only worry is that he will not be able to sell it at a good price.

The cash-strapped Zhang Yuan didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he wrapped the steel knife in a whole burlap cloth and headed towards Zhuo's house.

Although Zhang Yuan didn't want to face Zhuo Wangsun and Zhuo Wenjun, it was easier to deal with merchants who only had interests in their eyes than other people with unknown backgrounds. At least Zhang Yuan knew what Zhuo Wangsun wanted.

"Well, why do you think of going back to the mansion to see the old man? Could it be that your method has already worked."

As soon as Zhuo Wangsun saw Zhang Yuan, he would unconsciously think of all the benefits that Zhang Yuan could bring to him in his mind, and like Zhuo Wenjun, he was too lazy to be hypocritical with Zhang Yuan.

"Well, back to the family master, the boy came here today because he really has another thing to ask of the family master."

Zhuo Wangsun's answer did not satisfy Zhuo Wangsun, but it looked like he was here to make a request. Zhuo Wangsun's complexion changed faster than those women.

"The old man has been very busy recently. If it has nothing to do with the workshop, then don't bother the old man."

After speaking, Zhuo Wangsun got up and planned to leave this place that bothered him.

Although there are benefits to going straight to the point, but it is really unexpected to reject it directly.

"Master, don't leave. I'm here today to give you money, Master."

Probably hearing the word money, Zhuo Wangsun immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, and his eyes were bright.

"Money? What kind of money do you have, kid? The old man's income can cover your monthly money for ten years."

Although Zhuo Wangsun was interested, he still didn't forget to hit Zhang Yuan's fragile and young heart.

Ma De, when I have money, I will definitely use the money to kill you, an old man.
